Brown Anole

Anolis sagrei

Description:

I went outside at 10:30 p.m. in the evening, to look for insects to photograph, at the left and right, outdoor, nightlight bulbs. I spotted one reptile, resting on a wall, near the left, outdoor, nightlight bulb. This reptile, was trying to catch flying insects to eat. A minute or two later, this reptile started moving downward on this wall, until it finally disappeared into the green bushes below. On one occasion, I saw a medium brown moth, flying around the left, outdoor, nightlight bulb. After about thirty seconds, this moth, disappeared into the night. The body of this reptile, was about three inches long. The color of this insect, was different shades of brown. I then went over to the right, outdoor, nightlight bulb, and I spotted two, small, black beetles, and a lot of flying insects, that were flying all around, the right, outdoor, nightlight bulb. After about ten minutes, I went back into my house.

Habitat:

This reptile, is usually found on the ground, or in low vegetation. This reptile, lives in open habitats, on the ground, or on low tree trunks, and readily adapt to disturbed and urban areas.

Notes:

At around 10:30 p.m. at night, I spotted a brown reptile, resting on a wall, near the left, outdoor, nightlight bulb, trying to catch small, flying insects, to eat. After about five minutes, this reptile, finally decided to leave this wall, and headed downwards into the green bushes below. Resting near the left, outdoor, nightlight bulb, is the perfect place for a predator to sit and watch for its prey, and then to ambush its prey, and then to eat its prey.....
